Your Creative sound card will be causing these BSODs - You should check out this thread, there are a number of temporary fixes there until we solve the problem with Creative sound cards.

I've noticed that if I play solo, the game is pretty stable. But when I'm in a party of 2, 3 or more people, then after a while I get those gfx glitches which causes the game to crash.

Hey Rory,

How about some details on this problem? I never had any artifacting or game crashes until your patch.

Now I can't go in Pyramid. Light beam artifacts and game crashes.

Same scenario as the original poster - artifacting started in pyramids... but I could still play. Boss pops up - bam client crashes.

2x 570s in SLI

No problems like this with any other games.
Not sure but I may have fixed it. My 27" monitor was plugged into my 2nd vid in my SLI configuration which was also doing the physx stuff. I moved it to Vid1 and it appears to have helped... I will test again tomorrow.

You also patched.... not sure which fixed it.

We're working on a fix, but if you have this happen to you frequently, just delete the Minimap folder in My documents/My Games/Path of Exile. This'll prevent regular graphical glitches like this!

I get some crazy artifacts similar to this and the only thing that fixed it was to turn shadows to basic and off variance, however if you do this while you have the artifacts you will CTD.
So what is going on? I'm getting fairly angry about this shit and no response from GGG whatsoever. Paid 20 bucks and cant play the game, nice!
